Title: Now You Shall See, Part 1

Passage: Exodus 5:22 – 6:9

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: April 23rd, 2017

It is instructive to frame verses 5:22 – 6:9 in terms of the great despondency of the Israelites in Egypt described in ch. 5. We see Moses’s response, and then we hear from God. In all this, the passage emphasizes God’s purpose to bring glory to himself through the redemption of his people. The Holy Spirit wants to draw us in to this great agenda, that we would glorify God ourselves.

Title: Baptized Into Christ

Passage: Exodus 6: 1-4

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: April 9th, 2017

In Romans 6:1-4 Paul is not teaching about baptism per se. It certainly contains teaching about baptism, but that’s not the point. The point is the impossibility of those united to Christ to live in sin. Yet Paul drew from a shared understanding of baptism to make certain points about the Christian life. Consequently, this passage is a helpful and clarifying glimpse at biblical baptism. Our text teaches about baptism, and, from baptism rightly understood, it teaches about the Christian life. The point this morning is: those baptized in Christ will live differently from those who are not.

Title: From Bad to Worse

Passage: Exodus 5: 5-21

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: April 2nd, 2017

As we consider ch 5 in light of the whole book of Exodus, we are taught not to be deceived by our circumstances, but to look up and hope in God. As we look around us at the world, it seems to be spinning out of control. The darkness around us gets blacker and blacker. We too, like the Israelites, may be tempted to lose hope in our trials. But we must not. Amidst a very dark age, we must keep the flickering candle of our hope in Christ aflame. In light of this, I want you to get this central message from this sermon: believers hope in God, no matter how black the world’s darkness becomes.

Passage: Exodus 4:27 – 5:4

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: March 26th, 2017

I have organized this morning’s message around the two responses to Moses that we see in this passage. The first is the response of the Israelites in 4:31: And the people believed. The second response is that of Pharaoh in 5:2, Who is the LORD? Here we have illustrated the two ways to live. As we look at our text this morning, I want you to ask yourself, how do I respond to God? Does my life bear the marks of a response of faith, or of unbelief?

Passage: Exodus 4:18-26

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: March 19th, 2017

The return to Egypt is now before us. The ESV breaks the text into three paragraphs, and in each of them we see how God prepares Moses for his great return to Egypt. These lessons are instructive for us, for they both unfold important parts of the Exodus narrative and illustrate timeless principles for God works with his servants. This morning, I want you to see that God graciously fits his servants for the work he wants them to do. We already know that God will be with Moses. As Moses returns to Egypt, we see something of what that looks like.

Passage: Exodus 4:1-17

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: March 12th, 2017

Moses’s three questions in chapter 4 expose Moses’s fear and unbelief. Yet for each of Moses’s three objections, God patiently brings himself back into Moses’s thoughts. Moses was very hesitant to obey God’s call. All of us can be the same way. The point is this, we must submit to God’s will. In big things, in little things, in hard things, and in difficult things, we must lovingly submit to the will of God. In this passage, there are three reasons why we should submit to God.
